I have managed to enter my design into the CoolMomPicks Color-Your-Own Valentine’s Day Card Design Contest. Waiting until the last minute is not something I usually do, but at least I got my entry in! I saw it when it first came out but finally had time to create my drawing and put it up. […]
Themed Thursday… How do YOU find what You’re looking for?
A question that I’ve had going through my mind for the last few days is, “How does one get their jewelry ‘found’ when the jewelry market is just so oversaturated as it is?” I have heard from others that they renew many, many, many times throughout the day…but what if you don’t want to do […]

The Reorganization is COMPLETE!
I know! Can you believe it! I am actually done reorganizing my craft area…I never thought it would happen. I usually get about 1/2 done and then get too distracted by other projects. This time I really stuck to it and my quarter of the basement looks great (I haven’t created anything in yet though…) […]
Resolutions and a Great Recipe

With weight watchers, the Prairie Athletic Club and Hungry Girl. I attend a weight watchers meeting every week which I find extremely helpful and supportive. I am addicted […]
Themed Thursday – Time to get ORGANIZED!
I am still 100% in the midst of reorganizing my craft room, my bills, my life…here’s a few finds from etsy that may help make that job easier for me. *crossing fingers* Maybe this ‘You had me at Merlot Recycled Wine Cork Test Tube Storage Rack’ by Uncorked would be a good solution to storing […]

New Year – New Organization
I should be embarrassed to even show pictures of my crafting area but I’m not. I’m actually hoping this makes me actually finish organizing it! I usually start but then get distracted as I find projects I started to work on, lost interest and put aside for later. My husband put it best, “I don’t […]
Etsy – Not Just an Artist but Also A Photographer
If you were to peak at some of the items I first sold on etsy and then look at my listings now I’m fairly confident you would see that I actually learned how to use my camera. I have spent months learning how to take decent pictures with my camera and have shot, edited, re-shot […]
